Share What He Has Given

Reading 1 Samuel 30:21-31 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. David returns successful in leading the men in their rescue efforts but now must lead them in righteous living. Another opportunity in life to focus on self or focus on God and all that He has done. The two mindsets ‘what’s mine’ and ‘what God has given’. David was not discouraged when the 200 couldn’t go on because God had already told him he would be successful. The human tendency to look at blessings from God and say, “that’s mine, I earned it”. Matthew 20, the Parable of the Vineyard Workers. Numbers 31, after the conquest of the Midianites and the division of plunder.  Matthew 5:42, give to those who ask us. Matthew 16:23, get behind me Satan. Turn from selfishness and turn toward God.
